Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.

That feeling of being 19 or 20 and 'hot' in Hollywood was so intense.

I've raised daughters who are English, and I'm American, so they're culturally different to me, which is an unusual situation.

I don't believe in villains - just people who channel their energy in the wrong way.

The way it works in Hollywood is that if you're hot it doesn't matter if you're right for the part or not, you're just offered it.

My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer.
